“What did you say?”

Lin Xian set down the pen he was holding and looked straight at Brother Wang.

“Tem Bank, it’s the direct translation of ‘time bank’ in English.

Did you ever watch ‘Doraemon’ when you were little, Lin Xian?

A Time Capsule is kind of like a treasure chest, you put childhood toys or memorabilia into it, bury it in the ground with a mark, and then dig it up when you’re older, much older.

Don’t you think that’s a meaningful thing to do?”

“My initial idea was very simple, many people miss their childhood when they grow up but can never get back those childhood memories, right?

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a bank where you could store the time from your childhood, store precious memories?

After I got older...

...

I had even more ideas—”

“What if we stretched the time even further, stored our most precious things in a time bank, and then after decades, centuries even, our descendants could take them out?

Wouldn’t that be even more interesting?

Plus, starting such a bank doesn’t need a lot of money, it’s a small investment, because it doesn’t involve financial business, so it’s much easier to apply for licenses and qualifications.”

Brother Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, as full of youthful vigor as if he were a teen again, standing up and gesticulating with his hands and feet:

“The so-called investment is just buying some safes and renting a place to do business, it might not make a ton of money, but it’s still fulfilling a dream I had when I was young.

And!

At the beginning of the year, didn’t Professor Xu Yun announce a new type of hafnium alloy material?

I got excited then because it was tailor-made for my Tem Bank plan—”

“I had already inquired back then, customizing a batch of hafnium alloy safes was expensive, but this hafnium alloy wouldn’t rust or decay even after hundreds of years, it would still shine like new, it’s just perfect for my Tem Bank!”

“Moreover, at that time the Rhine Moisturizing Cream was selling like hotcakes, the brand was very successful, and I also got a big bonus...

Alas.

This Temporal Flux and the Space-Time Butterfly Effect are indeed tangled and intricately linked, such a chaotic mechanism, where events seemingly unrelated can still affect one another so easily.

If he hadn’t established Rhein Company,

Brother Wang would have been promoted by Zhao Yingjun as the fourth Vice President of MX Company, a position that was practically half-retired and cushy, mostly just managing logistics and procurement.

As a veteran and a meritorious executive of MX Company, Zhao Yingjun wouldn’t let Brother Wang’s efforts go unrewarded, but in terms of career...

it was practically the end of the line.

It’s not like he could take the authority and jurisdiction from the other three Vice Presidents who were doing well, could he?

This would be very inappropriate, after all, when it comes down to contributions to MX Company, the other three Vice Presidents were not beneath Brother Wang.

So, Brother Wang also had self-awareness.

He had a plan.

After the promotion to Vice President, he would use his savings over the years to realize his childhood dream—

To establish a Time Bank.

Tem Bank, offering long-term safe deposit box services.

According to the original history, Brother Wang was to be promoted to Vice President in the second half of 2023, and the Tem Bank was also expected to open at the end of 2023.

This was what was supposed to happen in history, as was clear from the speech at the bankruptcy declaration of Tem Bank in the Second Dreamland.

But then...

Here came this historical troublemaker, breaking all the rules, unexpectedly coming out of nowhere to establish Rhein Company.

This historical event, with its powerful butterfly effect, not only flipped over the entire Second Dreamland, changing the course of 600 years of future history but also changed Brother Wang’s life and the fate of Tem Bank.

The once retiring Brother Wang suddenly found himself entrusted with a major responsibility, becoming the second-in-command at Rhein Company.

Even, because of Lin Xian’s complete delegation, Brother Wang could be said to be the de facto head of Rhein Company.
